Quote from: TDoS on Apr 16, 2025, 03:50 PMYou are mistaken. I've never been paid to mislead anyone about anything, such is not the point of the world of science I am familiar with. And since when was telling people that peak oil occurred 7 years ago now misleading?

And that would be a reason for keeping the academic and alphabet agency work as one hand not knowing what the other is doing and regularly deleting posts . 1890 is more than 7 years ago.

You seem to be wandering farther afield than I can follow. What is an alphabet soup agency, are you referring to the USGS and Hubbert's work for them? Deleting posts certainly has nothing to do with being misleading....it is more like  retrieving the pearls after they've been dropped and no one seems capable of undestanding that they are indeed pearls.

What does 1890 have to do with anything? The first credible "end of oil" was claimed in 1886, so if that claim by JP Lesley is what you're referring to, you are off by a few years.

Quote from: TDoSI don't recall ever brandishing a weapon at a deputy or county official in my life, did you actually DO this and suffer the consequences of it? Or was this just a hypothetical?

I did say also "meter reader or similar". You recounted running someone off the property
with a firearm and landing in legal trouble for it. My point is at that time it didn't come under an agenda category of crime to make it fit, make it stick, or you would unlikely have gone free.

Oh my goodness yes, I certainly ran someone not off my property, but out of the very trailer we lived in! At like 2AM after they broke in. Where you live, is it illegal to defend ones home from folks breaking in? The legal trouble wasn't mine in that case but theirs. And there was nothing to "go free" from. I wasn't arrested or even hassled by the police, I did have to testify in court though. 

If by "legal trouble" you are referring to another incident involving perfectly reasonable defense of ones person using a firearm, again, is self defense not permitted where you live? Because here in America, it is perfectly legal.

Quote from: Goldernen OxernenImagine stating during questioning that a 5 year old would need to be severely retarded to not know they would be hurt if they fell 4-5 ft onto a tiled floor. A tribunal panel of legal experts and a PhD psychologist then state you called someone "a retard" as one of many false misquotations in their reasons against your evidence. Mental Retardation being a clinical term the psychologist on the panel and signing off must be familiar with.  All mammals having an innate fear of falling, clearly saying "severe mental retardation refers to profound developmental delay. And so on up in the 🦘 kangaroo court system.

imagine if we all made up scenarios and pretended that the exception was the rule. Good thing exceptions are exceptions, and not the rule.

Quote from: TDoSBoy did YOU miss all the really COOL doomer stuff of the early 21st century. Where were you, this stuff was everywhere, the Diner had some of those folks who just LOVED Planet X and some of the more entertaining ones. Can you imagine, back then China going down the tubes was considered a near given, as opposed to battling the US for global economic dominance. It was all over the Diner, did you miss it? Were you locked up somewhere or didn't have internet available?

RE insisted China is toast, counter to my own opinion they were and are thriving. Even here, what happened to Evergreen collapse?

I don't know what an evergreen collapse is. Did a pine tree fall on your house?

Quote from: Goldernen OxernenGiven that most people were not deleting all their posts on the diner, do a search of the old archives and show anyone saying Planet X was going to knock 🌎 Earth out of orbit.

Given that the Diner no longer exists and therefore there ARE NO POSTS AT ALL, I'm not sure what you're getting at? i simply evacuated the burning building early.

Someone sure did like Planet X and Nirubu big time back in the day! You seriously don't think the Diner was the only place attracting folks who vanished into the ether when it turned out that peak oil came and went, Mayan calendar day came and went, and the world just...kept...spinning...do you?

If you remember the Diner, you remember the level of activity through time. It got big when folks could be talked into the world ending, and when it didn't, wasn't getting bigger. It wasn't because the place was burning down, but because the world burning down turned into economic boom times after the 2005 peak oil, and the 2006 one, and the 2008 one, and so on and so forth. It was boredom. Doom never came. If you compare that, to the modern version, even the big and well known ones like peakoil.com, and TOD, the enthusiasm seems to have vanished into Qanon and other interesting topics rather than the REAL problems the planet has.

Quote from: Goldernen OxernenI also recall soneones expressed dislike for the farm life.

Damn straight. You want it, you keepit. I didn't even know how bad it was until I went to college. You want to scratch your life out of the dirt in the holler, have at it and enjoy. But don't expect all of us who lived that life to join you once we've escaped. Selling poverty is harder than selling peak oil consequences nowadays, 7 years after it finally happened.
